The CONGREGATION, who have been wor-
shiping in the little chapel Of st. James
on Lowering avenue, will soon have their
lonR-deferred and most ardent ncnas
realized. p. O. Kelley, who hns deslened
and built more churches than any score OF
aachitecta In this country, has eompieted
the plans for a beautiful stone church TO pc
erected without delay on the property
recently purchased from Mr.. Fieldai Union
street near Gllpln avenue. This church
will be named In honor OF St. Anne, the
mother OF tho blessed Virginia Mary.
Catholics throughout the world honor this
great saint as the special patroness OF
married people and more particularly
still of parents, engaged In the
education of their children. Many OF her
shrinee have become famous as objects OF
pilgrimage because OF the wondrous cures
and blessings obtained by the faithful
through the intercession of the "Good st.
Anne" as she Is familiarity styled. The most
noted Of these on this side OF the oeehn Is
now open for the building OF this new
ohurch.up to July 4th and the plans may be
seen al the office of MIR. Hickey, adjoining
| st. Peters Pro- Cathedral. Ground Will he
broken during this week preparatory TO the
solemn blessing aud planting OF the cross
| which will take place on Sunday afternoon,
26th inst, at 8 o'clock; All the clergy OF the
| beneficial societies, and the faithful gener-
| ally, will be present at this inauguratiye
l ceremony. One of the Jesuit fathers VIII
/ deliver discourse on the occasion.
Permission will be asked to have VIII
| mington'e first st. Anne's Church erected
1 with all the privileges OF St. Anhe OF
| dAuray In Franco, as is the case W'Lh St'
| Anne Of Beaupre tn Canada. some o. the
| relics OF St. Anne will be preserved In the
1 church, which will, no doubt, become an
4 object OF special and pious veneratioh 70

At 10 O'Clock Thursday morning fire
alarm was struck indicating the location
of Fourth end Shipley streets. The roof
of the house occupied by Isaiah N. Eaton,
plumber, No. 405 Shipley street was dis
covered on fire. Before the fire depart
ment had arrived Hiram Yerger, Mr..
Eaton's neighbor, aided by his men, had
some tubs Of water upon the roof with
which he deluged It and extinguished the
fire in few minutes. No damage was
done with the exception of the burning
of few shingles. II appears that q
bundle of refuse in the yard of A. L..
Sharpe next door to MIR. Eaton, had been
burning all the morning and it is sup
posed that sparks from it had blown upon
the roof igniting the wooden shingles.

mittee will be held In Wilmington on
Wednesday next. DR.. Marshall and Pro-
fessor Benton then made the generous
offer OF two money prizes for next year to
be awarded for proficiency in the studies
Of French, German and Latin. They
were gratefully accepted, but the condi-
tions &c, of tho award were not then con-
sidered. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year President,
G.. W. Marshall, Nj. D.; Yice-President,
H. G. Knowles Second vice-President,
tho Rev. II. W. Ewing Secretary, Alex

appointed to arrange for an elaborate
banquet next commencement, and from
the many assurances received from those
present 1t will be the most largely at
tended and the most enthusiastic meeting
held by the association for several years.
This interval has been characterized by
intense apathy on the part of the indi-
vIdual members, partly attributable TO the
low condition of the college under the late
presidents regime, yet nevertheless very
blameworthy in It's effect upon the COL
leRe. But interest has revived, and since
there Ia such an excellent opportunity for
wise counsel and action, their career Of
usefulness will again be called into SER
vice with an undoubted and advantageous
result.
A very delightful and informal dance
was given in a large and recently vacated
house at the west end after the Delta Phi
anniversary on Wednesday. The whole
house was thrown open TO the guests and
